The mere mention of Charlie's death took Evelyn right back to that tragic day, and her eyes filled with tears. "Charles, from the start, Dahlia never wanted Charlie to make it."

"She deliberately snatched the kidney that was meant for Charlie, leaving him without a donor during surgery. On the day he was critically ill, she even cut off the emergency call I made to you."

If only Charles had gotten that call. Even though he wasn't fond of Charlie back then, he wouldn't have just let her die. Maybe he could have secured the kidney, giving Charlie a fighting chance. But Dahlia cut off Charlie's lifeline.

When Evelyn brought up the call, Charles was stunned. He mumbled, "Eve, I never got your call."

As he said it, realization hit him—Dahlia had erased the call log. He remembered that day. On his way to meet someone, Dahlia called, saying Sandy was in the hospital with kidney failure. Dahlia's panicked voice made him fear the worst.

Torn between a day at the amusement park with Charlie and a potentially critical Sandy, he chose the latter. But at the hospital, Sandy wasn't in grave danger. Dahlia said she'd overreacted from concern and told him to go back to Charlie. He thought she was being thoughtful.

Seeing Sandy was okay, he planned to return to Charlie. But Sandy, teary-eyed, begged him to stay, saying she was scared without him. Seeing her like that, he gave in. Back then, his loyalty leaned more towards Dahlia and her daughter.

He figured there would be plenty of time for Charlie once Sandy was better. So he didn't go back. At that time, still misunderstanding Eve, he didn't want more contact, thinking she'd just take Charlie home if he didn't show.

He didn't know Charlie had lied to Eve, saying he was with her, just to get time alone with him. And Charlie, so innocent, waited because he'd promised.

So, Dahlia had called him on purpose, knowing Charlie was without a donor, hoping he'd intervene. But she took the kidney and cut off Eve's cries for help, letting Charlie die on the operating table.

If this was really how Charlie died, then his trust in Dahlia over the past two years had been a terrible mistake for Eve and Charlie. He had unknowingly protected the one responsible for Charlie's death.

"Eve, please don't cry. It's my fault—I let you and Charlie down. I was too stubborn to listen, to believe. Please, stop crying."

He staggered to his feet, wanting to comfort Evelyn. But someone else's arms reached her first, pulling her into a comforting embrace.

It was Brooks, who had come to have breakfast with Evelyn. He'd arrived before the truth about Charlie's kidney was out but had stayed hidden. He had planned to show himself after their conversation, but when Charles moved to hold Evelyn, Brooks quickly stepped in, making his presence known.

With one arm around Evelyn and the other gently holding her head, he let her cry against his chest, her tears soaking into his shirt. Brooks showed no irritation, only tenderness.

Charles's hand hung in the air, forming a fist. He watched as Evelyn leaned into Brooks without hesitation. Slowly, his hands dropped to his sides.
